Self-inquiry

What does it take to keep the stillness in the mind and in the rhythm of the breath throughout every day tasks?
Can we see out inhale and exhale as a ritual regardless of whether we are sitting in meditation, eating lunch or vigorously moving? What does it take to sustain the awareness?
Can we yoke our intention, the focus of our attention to the rhythm of the breath and keep it there no matter what distraction we encounter?
Which is easier to control-  mind or breath?
Which is the first to get distracted- mind or breathing?
By noticing and being curious about this process we are practicing svadhyaya- self-inquiry.
